U-Boat: The German Submarine Campaign and the Allied Counter Attack 1939-1945

(Author)
Description
From the U-Boat's development in World War I to its final reckoning at the end of the Second, this illustrated volume tells the history of Germany's iconic submarine. The twentieth century witnessed the creation and perfection of many new weapons systems, which were pitted against each other in two merciless global conflicts. Commencing with a study of the dramatic impact that submarines had on World War I, U-Boat examines the complacent reaction of the victors and the difficulties they faced when war broke out again in 1939. It explores both military operations and political battles, contains accounts by U-boat commanders, analyzes the desperate response made by Britain and the United States to the threat posed by submarine warfare, and assesses the ebb and flow of the campaign. Along with an outstanding collection of photographs, U-Boat contains superb art of an array of military equipment.Product Details
